Dovecote Park is one of the most beautiful and frequently heard 6/8 marches that we have yet little is known of its origin. It was composed by the renowned composer James Braidwood. James Braidwood composed only four tunes but each is superb: Dorrator Bridge (Strathspey), Isle of Carron (Strathspey), Heather Bell (6/8 March) and Dovecote Park (6/8 March). Dovecote Park is a location near Edinburgh where James Braidwood lived. I was first introduced to this beautiful tune when I was 10 years old by my teacher that that time P/M Malcolm Nicholson. I remember not being able to play it very well but sticking with it because of its exceptional melody. Dovecote Park has been described as “a place for ball games, play and a quiet stroll”. The tune has been published in many books but I learned it from Scots Guards, Volume 1.
